   I found an old VeraCrypt container with tomboys. all images are broken a bit. are there tools to try to fix this on Linux? it's not a big loss, just annoying

     @kaia good chances they magically revive by just converting em with imagemagick to another file ext 🤷

     Saved a bunch of images like that with invalid data or broken headers.

     @kaia that's a tough one. iirc veracrypt treats the container like it's own filesystem and doesn't really care about what's underneath (operating system/etc). if you haven't had a lot of write cycles to your machine you might be able to do some forensics on the filesystem inside the container, but it may not be worth the effort.

     @bekopharm it was worth a try, but sadly there seems to be content lost within the image, so a conversion does not result in a complete image. thanks!
